The Villisca Axe Murder House: Unsolved Mystery, Still Haunting Today.

Eight people are alive after a small town church program in Villisca, Iowa. By morning, the Moore family and two visiting children are gone, the house is staged in ways that make your skin crawl, and the investigation is already falling apart. The Villisca Axe Murders are infamous for the brutality, but what keeps pulling us back is the weirdness: covered mirrors, covered faces, a killer calm enough to move through the home and even cook food, then vanish with no conviction ever coming.

Halloween Special: Haunted House Showdown!!

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. Today, We have for you, our Annual Halloween Special Episode!!!

Its our favorite day of the year. The Oddity Shop door creaks open and you get to choose what’s waiting on the other side. We turned Halloween into a haunted house showdown, pitting three legendary locations against each other and asking you to crown the scariest: The Myrtles Plantation with its Southern Gothic lore, the Stanley Hotel and its Shining-fueled chills, and the Villisca Axe Murder House where an unsolved crime still echoes in the walls.

We kick things off with a full video experience—costumes, set dressing, and a game-show format that keeps the tension fun and the stakes high. Be sure to check this one out on YouTube for the full video experience!

Cast your vote for the champion of terror and tell us where you’d actually spend the night. Watch the full video on YouTube, subscribe to catch more spooky stories, and leave a review with your pick—Myrtles, Stanley, or Villisca?
